Absolute Surrender: "Batter Up!"
Sunday, June 21, 2009, posted by Steve McCranie - (37.44)

		Church offers the things women crave: safety, relationships, nurturing, and close-knit community. The rules are: be nice. Be sensitive. Be gentle. We promise a personal relationship with a man who loves you unconditionally. On the other hand, men need adventure, challenge and risk – but these things are discouraged in church.  Any man who tries to bring risk into his local congregation will quickly find himself in the gun sights of a longtime member. Sound familiar?  I thought it might.

Absolute Surrender: Breaking Our Addiction to Acceptance
Saturday, June 20, 2009, posted by Steve McCranie - (35.08)

		Have you ever wondered why we strive so hard for the adulation, attention and acceptance of the world?  Did you ever ask yourself why we want so desperately to have the world love us, think highly of us, invite us to their parties, or call us their best friend? Why would we want the world to do that? What would be our motivation?  What do we want to achieve? Why would we want the world to say things about us that they would never say about our Lord?  Never.  Gulp.

Absolute Surrender: What I Want My Children to Know
Sunday, June 7, 2009, posted by Steve McCranie - (41.20)

		If you received the dreaded results from your medical test and found out you only had a couple of weeks to live, what message about Christ would you want to leave to your kids? What truths about your relationship with the Lord would you want to instill in your children while you still can? What are the bedrock beliefs you have that cannot be shaken, that have stood the test of time?  Do you have any? And, if you do, what are they?

The Joy of Believing the Lie

“I’m completely in favor of the separation of Church and State.
My idea is that these two institutions screw us up enough on their own,
so that both of them together is certain death.”
George Carlin (1937-2008)

     I am keenly aware of the fact that you may be wondering about a guy who would write a book entitled, Love Jesus, Hate Church. You probably have some questions, maybe many questions, about the origins of a book that makes people as uncomfortable as Love Jesus, Hate Church has proven to do.
     You may be asking yourself, "How can you be a Christian and use the words Love and Hate and Jesus and Church all in the same sentence?  It just seems so wrong."
     And, you're right. It does seem wrong.
     True.  But wrong.

     Yep, I would probably be wondering the same thing if the tables were turned and I found myself in your shoes.

     So, let me see if I can shed some light on who I am and why I do what I do by telling you a bit about myself and how I came to write Love Jesus, Hate Church.  Let me share with you, oh, how shall I put it— the joy of believing the lie. I believe this will give you a better grasp of who I am and why I wrote Love Jesus, Hate Church.
